www.google.com/help/operators.html

For Example:
1. Intitle:
At the beginning of a query word or phrase (intitle:"Pakistan Army") restricts your search results to just the titles of Web pages.
1. Intext:
Does the opposite of intitle:, searching only the body text, ignoring titles, links, and so forth. Intext: is perfect when what you're searching for might commonly appear in URLs. If you're looking for the term HTML, for example, and you don't want to get results such as

www.mysite.com/index.html

, you can enter

intext:html
